Last Chance: Preserving Life on Earth
National Wildlife Federation President and CEO Larry Schweiger has recently released a new book detailing the threat of climate change to wildlife, fish, and game species. In an excerpt highlighted on Fly Rod and Reel's Blog, Larry talks about hunters and anglers first hand experience with a changing climate:
"From late March 2006 through April 2006, 1,031 hunters and anglers nationwide were polled, chosen randomly from state lists of individuals holding hunting and fishing licenses. This poll revealed that a majority of sportsmen are witnessing the effects of global warming in their world. More than three-quarters of US hunters and anglers agreed that global warming is occurring, and the same percentage said they have observed changes in climate conditions where they live, such as warmer, shorter winters, hotter summers, earlier springs, less snow, and more."
